Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you could stay here for just
A little bit, a little while, a little bit with me
(You're what makes me)
And if God could keep you with me
I'd trade (just about anything)

You're what makes me want to change things
(I would die just to live and yet we all live to die )

You're what makes me want to change
(You will not die)
(You will not die)
(You will not die)
(You will not) die

If you could stay here for just
A little bit, a little while, a little bit with me
(You're what makes me)
And if God could keep you with me
I'd trade (just about anything)

I'd trade anything
Take a step further back to where you belong
Take a look at your life what have you become

I never had the chance to explain myself
I never had the chance to apologize
I never had the chance to explain myself
I never had

You will not die
You will not die

You will not die
You will not-

Overall Meaning

The song "Higinia" by Blessthefall is a heartfelt and emotional piece that speaks about finding love and losing it unexpectedly. The opening lines of the song express the desire to have someone stay a little longer - this could be interpreted as the singer wishing that the love of their life would stay a little longer in their life. The next set of lines seem to imply that the person being talked about is no longer alive, and that if God could have kept them alive, the singer would have traded anything to keep them with them.

The song speaks of how this person was what made the singer want to change themselves, and how the loss of them has made them see that life is precious and that it is important to value the people that you love while they are still with you. The repeated lines of "You will not die" reinforces the idea that even though this person may not physically be present, their memory and the love that they shared will never die.

The closing lines of the song speak of regret and a missed opportunity to explain oneself or apologize. It is clear from the chorus and overall tone of the song that the person being sung about was a significant influence on the singer's life and their death has left a permanent mark on them.
